My surgery is on July 9 and I'm on day 5 pre-op diet. Doing OK so far, but I do have a light headache since yesterday. Hopefully it'll go away soon.

Good luck to you!!! ?❤️

My highest weight was 290. I’ve tried to lose weight over the past year. I started the process at 282 and went into surgery at 263. As of this morning I’ve lost 5 lbs. How about you? Would love to continue to compare notes. So far this morning my burning is better just backing off a little

Hi Sue2, how are you today? I’m so glad your burning feeling is getting a bit better, it’s not good that you are dealing with that and the ‘after effects’ of your surgery too. I started at 214lbs and now 195lbs, I’ve had some health issues that will hopefully subside with the surgery and that was my primary reason for choosing to do this. Ive fought all my life with my weight and I’m in my early 60s now. I’m very much a person that runs about as if I’m 20 yrs younger and it was time to take it all in hand really. I’ve stayed same weight for 2 days now so I think I’ll start weekly weighing, it may make me appreciate the losses a bit better that way ??. I feel like a hamster on a wheel every day, just hoping it gets better and more manageable soon ?‍♀️ I tried to take a little walk yesterday, maybe too far! I had to stop and rest twice! We’ll get there, just don’t know when??x

Congrats to Mother of 2, Losewate & Sue2 on your surgeries!

Your updates and information are helpful to those of us that are scheduled later this month.

I am having a hard time getting my Water in pre op, I can only imagine how difficult it will be those first few days after surgery. ?‍♀️

It’s certainly not easy Candace76, but eye on the prize ( as they say!) I just look forward to getting my liquids up and as time goes by, I’m sure I will. I tried to do the sipping before the op too, in the hope it would be easier. That’s all ‘out the window’ now, as the reality is completely different when it hits you? but in saying that, we can only work through it and get to the end in one piece, hopefully a lot healthier & lighter ?

Losewate I’m in my mid 50s and doing great today. I think I tried to do too much too soon. I walked 2 miles my first full day home. Once I rested yesterday and just concentrated on the liquids I started feeling better. I’m not one to sit around either. I don’t have any health issues but had signs they were coming. I had surgery to try to avoid all those complications and stay healthy. I’m 7 lbs down since surgery as of this morning and feel great!

Candace76: set a timer. Every hour I either drank 1 cup water or a protein shake. It helped me so much getting the liquids in pre-op. It has also helped post-op because I’ve stayed somewhat on that same schedule just stretched the cup of water over the entire hour or hour and 1/2. Scheduling is the only way I could possibly do it. I never got hungry or had issues pre-op. Now that I’ve been liquid diet for 3 weeks (tomorrow) I’m ready for something a little more but have another week to go liquid. I’m not allowed popsicles or soups or anything other than my protein shakes and water. A little jealous of those with more options but I can’t argue with my weight loss so far so it’s working. 27 total pounds lost since I first started this process March 29 and 7 lbs since July 1

my surgery is on the 26 of july wohooooooooooo

So excited for everyone having surgery soon!
